I have the honour to inform your Excellency, that the English Ministry do not agree to any of the Propositions that have been made either by us, or by their Minister here; and they have sent over a Plan for the definitive Treaty, which consists merely of the Preliminaries formerly signed, with a short Introductory Paragraph, and another at the Conclusion, confirming and establishing the said preliminary Articles. My Colleagues seem enclin’d to sign this with Mr. Hartley, and so to finish the Affair. I am, with Respect, Sir, Your Excellency’s most obedient and most humble Servant
